hamas for decades really, before hamas was hamas, has -- when hamas came to power in gaza, president mubarak treated it like a criminal organization. now you had 13 arab foreign ministers coming to gaza visiting the hamas leader. and the hamas leader has often had to run around the world as if he was a terrorist. now he's receiving all these dignitaries. the hamas position is that there should be a cease fire immediately and that along with that cease fire, there should be an open -- or the siege on gaza because i'm glad you showed that map. gaza doesn't have any external border. it's surrounded by egypt or israel. according to various agreements, any goods that come in or out of are subject to severe restrictions and the people of gaza can't leave unless they are also given the specific security agreements. so what hamas is asking for is immediate change of all of that status. a lifting of the blockade making it possible for the people of gaza to export what they want, to travel as they want, and to have that coincide at the same time as a cease fire. israel doesn't want to do that.
